Description

luciala palm plant Licuala grandisLicuala grandis Licuala grandis is a slow growing tropical fan palm with rounded, pleated leaves that look almost circular when mature. Each glossy green frond opens like a folded fan, with shallow notches along the edge and a smooth, ruffled outline. This palm grows as a solitary plant with one main stem over time. Indoors, the broad fans need filtered light, steady warmth, even moisture and protection from repeated brushing, dry air and harsh sun.

Licuala grandis

Licuala grandis is a slow-growing tropical fan palm with rounded, pleated leaves that look almost circular when mature. Each glossy green frond opens like a folded fan, with shallow notches along the edge and a smooth, ruffled outline.

This palm grows as a solitary plant with one main stem over time. Indoors, the broad fans need filtered light, steady warmth, even moisture and protection from repeated brushing, dry air and harsh sun.

Ruffled fan palm features of Licuala grandis

  • Growth habit: A solitary palm that slowly develops a trunk-forming habit over time.
  • Leaves: Large, pleated, mostly undivided fan fronds with notched tips.
  • Origin: Native from the Santa Cruz Islands to Vanuatu in the wet tropical biome.
  • Indoor behaviour: Slow in pots, with each new frond noticeably changing the plant’s size and shape.

Wet tropical habitat and fan leaf growth in Licuala grandis

Licuala grandis grows in wet tropical conditions from the Santa Cruz Islands to Vanuatu. It is a solitary, slow-growing palm with broad pleated fronds that develop best in shade or filtered light. The broad pleated fronds develop best where air is warm, humidity is steady and the leaves are protected from repeated contact.

Indoors, each frond is a long-term part of the plant’s appearance. The fans can crease, split or brown at the edges when they are touched often, exposed to dry heat or placed in direct midday sun. A stable bright position is better than frequent moving.

Filtered light, even moisture and humidity for Licuala grandis

  • Light: Provide bright indirect light or gentle filtered shade. Direct midday sun can scorch the fans and brown the leaf surface.
  • Watering: Keep the substrate lightly and evenly moist, then water again when the upper layer begins to dry. Avoid full dry-outs and saturated soil.
  • Substrate: Use a moisture-retentive but well-drained palm mix with bark, coir or fine organic matter plus mineral aeration. The roots need oxygen as well as moisture.
  • Humidity: Maintain moderate to high humidity, especially during heating season. A humidifier or grouping with other tropical plants can reduce crispy edges.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and protected from cold drafts. Avoid placing the palm against cold glass or near doors in winter.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during spring and summer with a balanced palm fertiliser. Slow growth means heavy feeding is unnecessary.
  • Repotting: Repot only when the root ball has filled the container. Increase pot size gradually so the mix does not remain wet for too long.
  • Placement: Choose a stable, bright filtered-light position with space around the fans. Avoid narrow walkways, exposed corners and places where the leaves are brushed often.
  • Growth rate: Growth is slow, with new fronds developing gradually in warm, bright, humid conditions.
  • Pruning: Remove only fully browned or damaged fronds. Avoid cutting green healthy fans, because each leaf takes time to replace.
  • Propagation: Usually propagated from seed. It is not normally divided in indoor cultivation because it grows as a solitary palm.
  • Semi-hydroponics: Long-term reservoir culture is difficult for this palm. A moisture-retentive but airy palm mix with steady drainage is safer.

Brown tips, torn fans and spider mites on Licuala grandis

  • Brown leaf tips: Check for low humidity, inconsistent watering, salt build-up or dry indoor heat before trimming.
  • Yellowing fronds: Often linked to overwatering, poor drainage or excessive direct sun. Inspect moisture and light exposure together.
  • Torn fans: Usually caused by handling, wind, pets or tight placement. Give the fronds enough space to open without being brushed.
  • Spider mites: Dry air can encourage pests on frond undersides. Inspect regularly and raise humidity while treating the infestation.
  • Stalled growth: Slow growth is normal in cool, dark months. During warm bright months, check root health, feeding and pot size if no new frond appears.

Leaf protection and pet placement for Licuala grandis

Place Licuala grandis away from pets that chew plants. The broad fans tear easily, and fibrous plant material can still cause stomach upset if eaten in quantity. Keep the pot where the leaves have space to open and where the plant cannot be knocked over.

Accepted name and grandis meaning in Licuala grandis

Licuala grandis belongs to Arecaceae. Licuala grandis (T.Moore) H.Wendl. was first published in Illustration Horticole 27: t. 412 in 1880. The epithet grandis means large, referring to the broad fan leaves. Pritchardia grandis T.Moore appears in botanical records as a synonym, while Licuala grandis is the accepted name.

Licuala grandis grows slowly as a solitary tropical palm with round pleated fans, filtered-light care and a warm, evenly moist root zone.

Poli Glow used on bottom portion of the picture
Just put it on 21 foot RV, was impressed with the shine. Key is to make sure the applicator is moist. I periodically dampen with water. Realizing it wasn't going to revive the stickers. Question is How long it will last? What will it look like after it rains? Pictures attached, bottom portion was done with poli glow on June 7,2026 and I have just under a half of bottle left. Maybe I will update once it rains or how long the shine last.

40 Years Young and Ready to Bring My RV Back to Life!
As a happy 40-year-old guy who takes a lot of pride in his RV, I’ve been on a mission to remove all the oxidation and restore that clean, glossy finish. After doing my homework, I decided to try Poli Glow Boat & RV Restoration, and I couldn’t be more excited about the results so far. I honestly can’t wait to see what it looks like once I’m completely finished. The quality of this product really stands out. It doesn’t feel like some quick temporary fix — it’s clearly made to properly restore fiberglass surfaces. The application use is straightforward, especially if you follow the prep steps carefully. Once I got into the rhythm of it, the process felt manageable and even kind of satisfying. What impressed me most was the smoothness it brought back to the surface. Areas that were dull and chalky from oxidation are starting to look deep and refreshed again. It’s doing a solid job with light scratch removal too, especially the small surface marks that naturally build up over time. I also appreciate the added layer of durability it promises. After putting in the work, I want something that’s going to last and protect the finish moving forward. And for anyone dealing with minor staining or corrosion spots, it definitely helps improve the overall look, contributing to better rust removal results around metal fixtures and trim. If you’re like me and want your RV looking proud and road-ready again, this feels like a serious step in the right direction. I’m genuinely excited to see the full transformation once I finish the entire exterior. Definitely worth the effort.

Great product, great support, looks better than new!
I couldn't possibly be more pleased with how my RV looks after Poli-Glow! I have a 2018 Rockwood 21' RV trailer that had not been treated before, so there was oxidation / fading from being in the Arizona sun - it just looked dull (the color is mostly beige). I am not usually a DIY'er. I researched options online and really appreciated the educational videos on Poli-Glow so I went with that. I don't have buffer machine or anything like that so I liked the idea of being able to do everything by hand. (Even if I had a buffing machine, I think that would have been more tiring having to climb a ladder with it and holding it over my head while applying a traditional wax - plus having to change between it and buffing cloths before wax would dry). Plus I like that this is a longer lasting treatment than a traditional wax. You will need some time - I spread my project over 4 days (day 1 - cleaning the RV and separate UV protection of the roof and awning; day 2 - Poli-Prep the whole RV; day 3 and day 4 Poli-Glow half the RV day 3 and finish day 4). Doing the Poli-Prep was easy. I mixed it in a spray bottle. I hosed down the section of the RV I was getting ready to scrub, sprayed on the Poli-Prep, scrubbed the area with the scrub brush that came with the kit, then hosed the area down and let it air dry. I only used about a third of the bottle of Poli-Prep. After the Poli-Prep the RV looked better than it did before, but that's not where the real shine comes from. I appled Poli-Glow to the RV surface, over the decals, plus all the black trim areas. The coats dried quickly so I didn't have any extra downtime between coats. When I finished a coat I walked about 30 feet to my working station in the shade, added more Poli-Glow to the mitt, and by the time I got back to the RV the previous coat was dry and ready for the next coat. Overall I worked a side of the RV from left to right; within a section I started on the bottom section up to almost as high as I could reach and used a ladder for the top half. The first coat get absorbed pretty thoroughly so the area looks only partially polished; by the 2nd - 3rd coat the shine really starts to show. Since I am in AZ, I applied the recommended 10 coats of Poli-Glow (10 coats to about a 5 to 6 foot section, then move the ladder to the next section). Overall I used 2 bottles of Poli-Glow with about a half inch left in the bottle. I did time my efforts both days to work on sections that weren't in the direct sun, making sure the area I would work on was cool or warm, not hot. Support was SUPER-FANTASTIC! I sent questions via Amazon contact seller and received very fast responses. They also sent me an email link to other videos from a detailer, so by the time I started I was confident and ready. During the project I sent pictures and they provided fast feedback that I was in fact progressing very well - very encouraging and confidence boosting. Thank you Sean! So yes, it took some time, but it was so worth it! It is shiny and beautiful and looks like new (actually better than new)! My neighbor has already asked me about it so he can do his RV. After I was done I took my victory lap - I sat in my driveway staring at it while sipping a beer, basking in the reflection of the sunset mirroring off the RV!

Oxidized fiberglass RV looks new again!
WOW! I researched high and low for a product that would bring back the shine to our 10 year old travel trailer that has fiberglass panel siding. There were countless videos watched, numerous products tried without success and then I discovered PoliGlow Restoration Fiberglass Kit for boats and RVs. It came with the cleaner and pad to remove the oxidation and a bottle of Superior Fiberglass Restoration, Protection and Shine. This product is amazing. The condition on the exterior of our RV had become a bit embarrassing, but now it shines with the newest of them. The instructions are easy to follow, there are even videos of the process! It does require several coats of the Restoration and Shine product. The cost is extremely reasonable for the end result of the RV. The shine is amazing! Highly recommend this product. PS It was extremely easy to apply as I had my husband do it, he didn’t complain at all and was thrilled with the result!
